Props – Twist Variations

Twists and Props

Yoga leads us toward greater mental adaptability, along with physical flexibility, so explore using props to work in twisting variations. Props can help us move deeper, or work with injury in a pose. Using an unusual props might access a posture more fully, and understand parts of the body needing attention.

We can all benefit from the increased mind-body connection and relief of yoga, so if space or support would assist a pose, add props. If you're struggling, try working on something subtle and see what unfolds. As you explore deeper into precise actions or directions, you may learn by slowing down, and using a prop to activate awareness.
